I actually love the taste of the lightly roasted and powdered seeds supplement I had. Mix with a little cocoa even better. I haven't used it in a while but miss the taste. Maybe yours is an extract?
PS if you don't mind sharing, what do you use it for and are you getting benefits?
I don't mind at all. I use Bulk Supplements Mucuna Pruriens Extract. 1/4 tsp has about 677mg. The amazon reviews had warned me that it might not taste great. But it's 1/4 tsp, and I mix it with about 6oz water, so not a big deal. It makes the milk thistle extract I take seem yummy by comparison!
I follow the Fit Recovery website closely. The guy who runs it used to be an alcoholic and found his way to complete sobriety through a combination of supplements, diet, exercise, and meditation. And of course, good old-fashioned desire to quit. He makes a lot of good points about what alcohol does to your body and how sometimes just wanting to quit isn't enough if you're not taking care of the vitamin and mineral deficiencies caused by drinking too much (like Vit B1, for example). Anyway, he mentioned mucuna pruriens as a good supplement for keeping up energy levels when you are first abstaining and feeling fatigue. I can't really tell if that is an issue for me, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to take it for now. I bought the smallest bag they had.
Fit Recovery is actually where I first heard about Kava, as well. He mentioned it as another weapon to have in your alcohol-decreasing/quitting arsenal, so to speak. He is a big fan of strong chamomile tea (like, six bags in one cup), but admittedly, that is not enough sometimes, especially if what you really want is a glass of wine.
